Excellent movie, but not for someone who hates full-on action movies.

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2005)

I just saw this movie today. I thought it was an excellent movie, however, it was very loud! It takes place in 2019. Wealthy people can pay to have a clone created of themselves so if in the future, they need any organs replaced, they get it from them. And it's not cheap. $5 million! These clones are created full born at the age of their owners. Memories are in-planted into their minds, so the childhood they thought they had, never happened. They live underground in a cement place, and wear all white. The images they see through windows are all holographic. They are told that earth is contaminated, and where they live is safe. There is a weekly lottery, and the winner gets to go to the 'Island', the last safe place on earth with clean water and air. When they are being taken to the 'island', they really are being taken to where one of their organs is going to be taken and given to their sick owner. Also, the female clones can have babies, which are given to the actual mother and father after the clone is killed. Their names (e.g. Licoln 6 Echo. Licoln for the last name of the owner, 6 for the area where their owner lives and Echo for what year they are born.) are chosen by the details of their owner and year they are born.
But all the 'Echos' have a defect in them, which eventually causes the main character (Ewan McGregor) to find out the truth and escape, taking somebody with him (Scareltt Johanson). There are a lot of chase scenes and one minor sex scene (just making out). Not for someone who hates loud movies!
